I’ve tried a lot of different meals for breakfast since going mostly grain free. This almond butter cookies recipe is one of my absolute favorites. And you wouldn’t believe how simple it is. The recipe requires only TWO INGREDIENTS. What?? All you need is an egg and half a cup of nut butter. I add […]
Maple Almond Cashew Butter
We almost always make our own nut butter. In part because I try to avoid peanuts and also because homemade nut butter is delicious. But we bought some healthy almond butter when we were on vacation this summer and fell in love with the maple flavor that we’d never tried before. So, I wanted to […]
7 Tips on Cooking Fried Rice
Fried rice is fantastic and it’s an excellent way to clean up your crisper and use up little bits of protein and vegetables. But, if you just slap it together willy-nilly, it can be mushy and flavorless. Over the years, I’ve mastered the art of creating restaurant-style fried rice from leftovers. Here are my […]
Paleo Creamy Tomato Noodle Soup
Sometimes the best ideas come to me when I’m just whipping up a quick dinner for the kids and myself. This Paleo creamy tomato noodle soup is one of those times. I wanted to make noodles because I’ve been craving them and I didn’t have any marinara sauce made, so I opted to combine a […]
Paleo Mixed Berry Jam
My kids are on a bit of a peanut butter & jelly kick (technically cashew butter and jelly). And we’re doing this pantry challenge/war on debt thing so once we ran through all the jellies in the house I decided to make some with some the fresh and frozen fruit we already had on […]
Paleo Fajitas
We love Mexican food. The whole family can eat together really easily with something like fajitas. We make a big base of fajita veggies and then, if anyone wants meat, we add that in. It makes eating with vegetarians, meat-eaters and kids really simple. This paleo fajitas recipe is our new favorite and it’s super […]
Lentil Quinoa with Curry Tomato Sauce
I’m doing this 21-day cleanse thing and I am not supposed to eat meat or beans (or dairy or grains), but I can eat lentils. I noticed my iron was low (familiar symptoms when it gets low) so I searched around to find out what I could currently eat that would boost my iron. Quinoa […]
Slow Cooker Dal Makhani
Slow Cooker Dal Makhani and it’s just as delicious (if not better) than the restaurant variety? Yes, please! We’re doing the War on Debt still so we’re on a restaurant moratorium. I’m missing Indian food. Even though I’ve made a few Indian dishes at home, it’s never quite the same. So I thought about what […]
Banana Oat Bread: 3 Ways
You know I miss my bread. But just before I had to put the kibosh on the grains, I had these beautiful banana oat bread treats at a party at our house. They were amazing. I miss them. I even baked them in three ways: muffins, mini muffins and mini loaves. So much fun! I […]
Moroccan Roasted Cauliflower
I went to a weekend conference recently in Orlando and met friends for dinner at a sort of modern Cuban tapas place called Cafe Tu Tu Tango. We ordered a couple things each and my favorite was Moroccan Roasted Cauliflower. It was fantastic. The cafe version included agave syrup and crushed almonds, but I left […]
